Safety on the Modern Campus

Cecil College Public Safety encourages employees to complete ALICE Training and offers the same training to students on a voluntary basis. ALICE Training is a research-based, proactive approach to responding to an armed intruder which authorizes and empowers those engaged in such an event to utilize existing building infrastructure, technology, and human action to increase their chance of survival. To speak to a Public Safety Officer about ALICE Training, please call (410) 287-1601 (North East) or (410) 287-1602 (Elkton Station).
